Editorial: Stereotypes and Intercultural Relations: Interdisciplinary Integration, New Approaches, and New Contexts

摘要

This special issue was inspired by Grigoryev et al. (2019) on ethnic stereotypes and Berry’s approachto the psychology of intercultural relations (e.g., Berry, 1998, 2005; Berry et al., 2021; Figure 1).Since individual behaviors are shaped in particular cultural contexts, we are interested in whathappens when individuals who have developed in different cultural contexts meet and interactin culturally diverse settings. Stereotyping is a cognitive mechanism that underlies all aspectsof intercultural processes: the way individuals perceive members of other groups shapes theirattitudes and behavior toward them, influencing their various types of intercultural interactionand perspectives.
